Abstract:
In general, techniques are described for supporting bulk delivery of change of authorization data in authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) protocols, where delivery is performed as a change of authorization after a subscriber has successfully authenticated and initially authorized. In one example, the techniques are directed to a method including determining, by a RADIUS server for a service provider network, change of authorization data for services to which the subscriber of the service provider network has subscribed. The method further includes generating, by the RADIUS server, RADIUS messages that form a transaction between the RADIUS server and a network access server acting as a RADIUS client. The RADIUS messages provide all of the change of authorization data to the network access server prior to the network access server provisioning the services. The method further includes outputting, by the RADIUS server, the RADIUS messages to the network access server.
Abstract:
A first device may establish a connection with a second device, and may provide a connection check RPC message to the second device. The first device may receive a verification RPC message from the second device, and may provide, to the second device, a sync domains RPC request that includes a first list of active domains with associated address pools. The first device may receive, from the second device, a sync domains RPC response that includes threshold values for the active domains included in the first list of active domains, and may provide, to the second device, a sync pools RPC request that includes a first list of address pools associated with the active domains. The first device may receive, from the second device, a sync pools RPC response that includes confirmation of the first list of address pools, and may allocate addresses of an address pool to a CPE.

Abstract:
An example network access device (NAD) includes a network interface to send and receive packets with an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server, and a subscriber management service unit (SMSU). The SMSU is configured to, responsive to determining that the AAA server is not reachable by the NAD, send a message from the NAD to the AAA server using the network interface, wherein the message directs the AAA server to send a discovery request message to the NAD, receive the discovery request message from the AAA server using the network interface, wherein the discovery request message includes a request for information about a plurality of subscriber sessions, and generate a discovery response message that includes information about at least a portion of the plurality of subscriber sessions, and send the discovery response message to the network access device using the network interface.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for managing access to services provided by wireline service providers may include (1) receiving at least one request from a subscriber device to authorize access to at least one service, (2) authenticating the subscriber device with an access gateway of a wireline service provider based at least in part on the request, (3) generating a unique session identifier that uniquely identifies the subscriber device during a service-access session, (4) delivering the unique session identifier to a management server of the wireline service provider to enable the management server to authenticate the subscriber device with at least one network device that provides the service based at least in part on the unique session identifier, and then (5) facilitating access by the subscriber device to the service provided by the network device during the service-access session. Various other systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
